Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 239.2 CW: 237.6 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Managed to get 2 weight sessions and walking in this week. Came across a decent recipe hack for pancakes on a Instagram reel where you crack and weigh the egg and then whatever that is, you add in the exact same amount of milk and plain flour…

Thank you, it certainly wasn't what I was expecting to see this morning given that I had stayed within calories from what I gather. The muddiness made it feel more like a MTB bike ride than usual, there was a stretch of mud I somehow got through then went up a bit of a hill then met the next mud stretch and my tyres got…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 239.6 CW: 239.2 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Another fairly active week on fitness front of 2 weight sessions, a 4.4 mile bike ride, building furniture and any other additional walking. It was great to get out on the bike, love cycling.. unexpectedly really muddy and ended up getting…

Thank you both for your support, much appreciated. Sending you many congrats on reaching onederland iradi8, I started around a similar weight to you and still have a fair bit to go until I'm under 200, but hoping I'll be close by end of year. I'm hoping to use halloumi again this weekend in a similar way, will have to…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 241.6 CW: 239.6 --- Morning all, here for Monday check in. Had a positive week on the food and activity front, fit in two walks, two weightlifting sessions and whatever else I walked indoors at home/in a supermarket. I managed to stay under 1600 calories this past week (had one day 1700+ but the…

Thanks Linda, that's very true, you are doing great too and your support is much appreciated. Just a heads up, just had a nosey at the spreadsheet for this month and this week's weigh in for me is showing as 241.8 but was 241.6 :). Thank you! You are doing amazing too, at least 50 pound lost is an amazing achievement. I…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 242.8 CW: 241.6 --- Morning all, here for Monday check in. Another month already, this year is going fast yet slow at the same time. Woohoo just seen I had 4 weeks in the green last month, can't remember if I did in January - well done everyone for last month too. I've had a good past week on eating…

Thank you, it is great to be moving in the right direction. I can't believe I've nearly lost a stone this year already. I moved down to 5 days a week for this month and just renewed for next month 5 days a week again. I'm enjoying being able to have different things at the weekend that's healthy but still not going over…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 243.6 CW: 242.8 --- Morning all, here for Monday check in. I was a little lower yesterday, it's funny that you get lower numbers just before weigh in day like it does it on purpose 😂. Still going in the right direction though! Last week was one of the first weeks where I was adding more healthy…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 244.4 CW: 243.6 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in. Not much to report this week but on track to having a fully green weigh in month so far which is good. A few more pounds and I'll be back down to a number I have not been in about 2 years. It's great being able to see past entries from years ago…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 245.6 CW: 244.4 Morning all, here for Monday check in. I have now lost my first stone since my starting weight last year! Scales are fluctuating but my first step on was at the weight above so we'll go with that and see where I am next week. Completed my first week of 5 day meal prep.. I tracked to…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 246.4 CW: 245.6 --- Hi all, here for Monday check in and hello to another month. I officially stuck to my plan for a whole month, sure I added bits in like blueberries, salad, low cal garlic sauce and juice (to be diluted) into water a few times but that is it. I'm proud of myself for sticking to it…

What did you gain from being a member of the team? Since joining the team I can echo the similar sentiments that other team members have expressed in the sense of you feel supported here, even if you aren't losing as you hoped to be, there is encouragement and a non judgemental approach which is refreshing. Granted, I want…

Thank you, yes I've provided various feedback to them on their posts.. it does seem they do take them on board to create meals from my and others suggestions but, yet to see an improvement on vegetables portion increase etc. Yesterday after some discussion with a family member I decided to go down to 5 days a week for next…

Thank you and sounds like a good idea. It has crossed my mind about going down to 5 days then would give me more freedom if I wanted to do something else within calories at the weekend but, with being early in losing again it's probably best if I stick with the structure for now, and then gradually go to 5 days per week…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 248.6 CW: 246.4 Hi all, here for Monday check in. I weighed in about an hour or so earlier than usual as got up earlier today. Great to see another loss, although this week I have been shown the power of fluctuations as one point weight was up to 249.6 and yesterday 248.2! I'm still on track with…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 251 CW: 248.6 Hi all, here for Monday check in. Not much has happened in the past week. I'm still going well with my plan. I bought a packet of fresh blueberries to add into the breakfasts, did me 5 servings which was good. It's nice to have another loss, I was 250.4 yesterday so to step on for…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 255.4 CW: 251 Hi all, Here for Monday check in. I've had a good week as was under my calories all week and got at least 1.6 litres of water (6 cups) of water in each day. I did two 25 min yoga sessions and 30 min dog walk and I'm still filling out the calorie counting food diet diary that I posted…

Evening all, Day 2 down, have felt quite nauseous and lower energy most of time today as predicted TOM happened but otherwise I'm not too bad. Just thought I'd come on and post a non scale victory for the last 2 days I've managed to drink about 2 litres (7-8 cups) of water and I'm definitely noticing a difference in…

Weigh in: SW: 259.4 PW: 254.2 CW: 255.4 --- Morning all, Congrats everyone for December's win! Here for Monday check in. As you know a new meal plan for me has started from today, the breakfast actually wasn't too bad. I think it's going to take time to get used to for a few reasons but, I do feel hopeful about it. It will…

Hi Ash, Wow, it was like looking right in the mirror with this post. I also lost my mother round about your age, a few years ago and from then have piled on weight since. I'm looking to lose similar amount of weight as you are. I'm sorry you've also had to go through losing a parent, it's really painful, even more so when…

No problem Linda. My starting weight of my weight loss journey would of been 259.4, last week's weigh in was at 254.2 I believe but, will update accordingly tomorrow morning on weigh in day and new meal plan starts! It got delivered today, the food doesn't look too bad, a little dubious on the portion sizes and…

Ahhh, that's what I'm curious on how I will fair but going to try and be disciplined. I've seen Hello Fresh advertised alongside a number of other companies and have been tempted but didn't bite the bullet until a family member brought up about a local meal prep service on NYE. I feel like some of the companies meal plan…

I'd say it's a little like HelloFresh in that it's fresh food, but, this local company offers it already prepared/cooked in recycleable containers as far as I'm aware. There is different meal packs depending on what calorie amount you wish to go for (from 1200 calories to 2600 a day) and the duration, i.e. do you want 5…

Happy new year everyone! Welcome new members, I have no doubt that you'll enjoy posting within here as we are an active bunch. I'm currently chilling after having new years day dinner, so tasty. Next week it is back to getting my foot onto the gas and start making change to that scale and measurements. At the moment, I…

Hi Jugar, I already posted my weigh in on my weigh in day yesterday on page 48 of this thread :)

Hi all, Here for Monday check in, the last one of this year, crazy. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas, mine was pretty chill. As much as it would have been nice to see people, a part of me enjoyed doing our own thing and in turn keeping people safe. Less stress all round. Like with most of us, I haven't been mindful this…

Hi all, Here for Monday check in. Hope everyone is managing ok. It is wild to think in a few days Christmas will be here and gone. This past week I've been busy marizpaning and icing some Christmas cakes for family and friends - gave one to my friend (socially distanced pick up) and they weighed in at over 8 pounds!! Other…

Hi all, Here for Monday check in, another week gone! They roll around so quickly. Not too much to report from myself apart from met all goals apart from exercise - I got 1 bike ride and 1 yoga session in alongside any walking I did.. aiming to do 3 forms of exercise this week in addition to any walking. From reading…

Hi all, Here for Monday check in. Last week I set out 3 goals and and I managed to complete two of them (water and meal plan). I have started this week off better already by doing 31 minutes on the stationary bike this morning, so two more additional exercises to go at least. I wasn't sure if I could push to 30 minutes at…
